The restraints in the tutorial are there to mimic the fact that there are only five peptides, when in reality, there are millions, so the effects of the forces are quite different in vitro/in vivo.  Restraining one peptide makes the remaining four peptides more stable, more realistic.  WHAM doesn't do anything to change this.
